Don’t forget Iran. I know it is implicit your statement, the alliance that is forming is in large part in opposition to Iran.

The Trump team is playing this perfectly. They will allow Turkey to make the official announcement of what happened.

Pompeo told them they better play nicely.

No question thanks for the addition. Between the three of them they are setting the mullahs up for a fall that will never be forgotten. First they let the mullahs destroy their economy,than they go after the security staff and the rest won’t be long incoming. The mullahs will be history.

Exactly. The death of Jamal Kashoggi morphed into and opportunity for the deep staters and the mockingbirds that are ever so pervasive in the NYT and the WaPost to go after the alliance and DJT. Just one more reason to impeach the potus.
The alliance is between the US,Israel and Saudi Arabia. It's responsible for every thing from the way we wage war in the mid east now with the Saudis taking the lead and we providing whatever assistance they need to lower gas prices. It is also working on dislodging the mullahs from Iran the only way it can be done.From within. There are thousands within Iran who want freedom from the mullahs and to control their own destiny. Trump and the alliance are tapping into these forces and it won't be long until the mullahs are so unpopular that they leave on their own which is the best way for the chaos in Iran to resolve.
What was not mentioned was the fact that Jamal was the heir apparent to the vast fortune and smuggling operation of his late Uncle Adnan Kashoggi.
In business since the Iran contra days uncle Adnan had to have been connected to the CIA otherwise his decades long run of smuggling everything from guns,to weapons,drugs, body parts,humans and whatever would have folded long ago simply from other competitors if not the law.

“He was formerly a media aide to Prince Turki al Faisal, who is an eminence gris figure in Saudi intelligence, with its systematic relations to American and British counterparts. Prince Turki’s father, Faisal, was formerly the king of Saudi Arabia until his assassination in 1975 by a family rival. Faisal was a half-brother of the present king, Salman, and therefore Prince Turki is a cousin of the Crown Prince – albeit at 73 more than twice his age.”

For nearly 23 years, from 1977 to 2001, Prince Turki was the director of the Mukhabarat, the Saudi state intelligence apparatus. He was instrumental in Saudi, American and British organization of the mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan to combat Soviet forces. Those militants in Afghanistan later evolved into the al Qaeda terror network, which has served as a cat’s paw in various US proxy wars across the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, including Russia’s backyard in the Caucasus.”
Bottom line Jamal had intel sources that only equate to our cia or nsa people would have.To think that the cia did not have eyes on him forever or more likely he was a cia double agent would be naive.
Knowing that Jamal was a smuggler, MB higher up advocating Islamic takeovers worldwide a cia mockingbird journalist the CIA would have found him incredibly useful.
This would not have gone unnoticed by the kingdom either. They are not or never were asleep on such aspects.
Rumors are that MBS had cleaned up the kingdom and instead of jailing the rich Saudi bad guys was forcing them to pay restitution to the kingdom through MBS. Its likely that Jamal was one of those reluctantly paying restitution.It's also likely he was not that happy about it and had decided to see if he could institute a coup by turning some of MBS’s closest allies who surround ed him almost daily.
This is why everyone in turkey at the Saudi embassy was close to MBS and also why Jamal entered the embassy unafraid of what would happen since he thought he was instituting a coup.Had he really feared for his life he would have brought all kinds of security which he didn't bother to do.
It appears the meeting between Jamal and mbs supporters when terribly wrong and as they say the rest is history.
Was MBS even aware of what was transpiring? Hard to say we many never know.
Either way Jamal was a bad guy doing bad things and may well have got what he deserved.
